Navigating Social Media with Dr. Angela Patterson

The world of social media can be a staggering and scary one when it comes to our kids. It's vastly complex, always changing, and filled with potential harm. At the same time, it can provide inspiration and connection. So how do we help our children acclimate well to the virtual world? Dr. Angela Patterson joins us, for the second time, to discuss this ever-evolving challenge. Her recently completed doctoral work in media psychology looked at how media and technology affect cultural institutions. Specifically, her research focuses on how digital media affects the religious and spiritual development of adolescents and young adults. In these formative years, it is crucial that we help guide our kids, while being open to learning from them as well.
